Our team members
Dave Sandrick, General Manager
My name is Dave Sandrick and I have really enjoyed becoming a member of The Learning Experience team in Bucktown. I did not know what to expect joining a “corporate”…
What sets our TLE® Centers apart
TLE® centers are vibrant, joyous place where kids love to learn and indulge their curiosity. Take a look inside.
We love hearing from our happy parents
Parents are such an important part of The Learning Experience family. We love hearing from them–especially when they share with us the growth and learning they see in their children!
We love everything about TLE! After touring several providers in the area, we enrolled our infant about a year ago, and it has exceeded all expectations. The staff are warm and professional, and we feel connected to his daily activity through frequent updates, photos and regular communication. From the happy smile our toddler shows at drop off, to the fun art projects and new skills he comes home with, we are fully confident in the quality of care and attention he receives. We also love that he is exposed to diversity in his classroom and development experience at TLE.

We LOVE TLE! Our 3yo is thriving with structure, routine, learning new things every day and social interaction with some really great kids and teachers. He loves coming to school every day and I have seen growth in his communication, identification of colors, numbers, letters and other basic educational skills. We also had our 4mo (going back at 10mo due to COVID) but he was so taken care of and loved. Can't say enough about this place - it's clean, it's lovely, the teachers are great and the other children (including mine) are so happy!

We love TLE Bucktown. We also adored our previous provider — so TLE had big shoes to fill — and we have been so very pleased. Dave is a terrific manager and does an excellent job communicating with families. He has also been extremely accommodating during the COVID crisis, which has been a much needed peace of mind during these challenging times. Most importantly, our daughter loves TLE and her teachers, calling out their names while she is away from class.

I cannot say more positive things about TLE Bucktown. My son has been going since he was 5 months old and he has always thrived there. The teachers are amazing and I can always tell that they care about him and are invested in his development. Dave and Jazmin are great: very responsive to emails, reliable, well-organized. The activities are amazing. We get to bring home materials frequently so my son can continue learning at home. He comes home and talks non-stop about his friends and teachers and all the things he is learning and doing. He gets disappointed when it isn't a "school day." I share some of the pictures I get through the Show N' Tell app with my family and they are always so impressed with all the things he is doing in daycare. Since COVID happened, the staff continues to be attentive, communicative, and following all the health protocols and guidance. Thus, I have felt very safe having my son go back to daycare. Also, as an essential worker, my son was able to go to the West Loop location during the shelter-in-place orders. Many of my fellow colleagues who were needed to fight COVID could not find daycare. So this was a big relief. My son adjusted really easy to the new center because all the curriculum was the same. The West Loop staff, as a quick shout-out, were also amazing during this time and welcomed my son as part of the TLE family.

Monthly Curriculum Theme
Kindness Matters
This month, children are learning about the importance of being kind and giving to others. As the children learn what it means to care for and be charitable to others, they will truly embody the phrase, "It doesn't matter how big or small you are, it's the size of your heart that matters."
Characters that bring learning to life
Designed for six stages of early development
Our curriculum is specially designed and created to focus on each of the six early stages of development: Infant, Toddler, Twaddler, Prepper, Preschooler and Kindergartener.
Built with your child’s needs in mind
Committed to innovation in childcare
Since 1980, The Learning Experience® founders the Weissman family have worked to develop and implement childcare and early education programs that are innovative, ground-breaking and built upon three key principles: Learn, Play and Grow.
